An enormous covered arena. Unbelievable. But it's just me there and it's not mine. I have always wanted my horse right outside my door. And I will no doubt get another one to keep Fat Boy company. Plus my neighbor who I adore has horses and will come ride in my arena with me -- so I'll have company! It's always more fun to ride with others.Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201235659652895050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555191244102972923.post-66502092754524276012012-10-18T19:03:58.906-07:002012-10-18T19:03:58.906-07:00THANK YOU!

I am so completely stupidly insanely excited about it that I'm like a two year who ate the entire birthday cake WITH kool-aid and then was set loose with a bat and a pinata. Everybody look OUT!<br /><br />When my daughter was really little we used to spin wildly around the house singing, "Spinning outa control! Spinning outa contro!" That's me right now.<br /><br />Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201235659652895050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555191244102972923.post-11874979002675970182012-10-18T18:59:02.959-07:002012-10-18T18:59:02.959-07:00Yes. While I'm generally a libertarian with a ...Yes. While I'm generally a libertarian with a modicum of social conservatism in the public arena, in the PRIVATE arena (HAHAHA!! arena...get it?) my horse (and even my kids) don't get to vote. Here, it's my kingdom and I am a genial despot.<br /><br />It's my way or the highway. <br /><br />We've been planning this for years. The property was heavily wooded with trees and shrubs. My husband and I cleared the area. Not an easy job. Then I did a web site for the the main guy and his wife, so he's giving us a sweet deal. <br /><br />Wheeling and dealing. That's how I roll.

She had 3 horses on the farm, but she boarded Dewey and his board was about the same cost to keep up the 3 at home. If you have been boarding, you could pretty much make payments on a loan for the cost of board. How many horses do you have again?Tuerqashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362473821989457188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555191244102972923.post-30731497728611511382012-10-18T12:10:13.239-07:002012-10-18T12:10:13.239-07:00Wow!

The business is doing all right. Business is...BOTH. The business is doing all right. Business is sort of flat, which, in the horse industry, is the new up. But we've been planning to do this for 10 years!!! Since we moved up here. SO I AM SO JACKED YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!<br /><br />I have never had my horses at my own property. Always boarded at show barns. This is so outrageously cool I can't even begin to convey it. <br /><br /><strong>SQUEAL</strong> is the only word that comes to mind!<br /><br />Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201235659652895050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555191244102972923.post-48414079465061127052012-10-18T08:07:51.766-07:002012-10-18T08:07:51.766-07:00Congrats, Buttercup!

Did that business you mentioned a few months ago significantly augment your income or have you been saving for a long time?Tuerqashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362473821989457188noreply@blogger.com
